People never seem to get excited about free shipping offers.* I’ts understandable because it’s just shipping, but think about it, free shipping is actually a good discount, and shipping price can often be 10-20% of your total order cost, so it’s a damn good saving. Concrete Hermit are running free shipping on orders over £30 until the end of the month, and unusually this offer is extended to everyone in the entire world. These offers tend to be domestic, so if you’re a non-Brit that is pro-CH, this is a good time to make a purchase.
* How involved am I with the indie clothing world that I’m annoyed people don’t get excited by free shipping offers?
When you hear that Concrete Hermit are releasing some tees you just know they’re going to be good, and that the artists who designed them are going to impress your arty friends, and this latest series release is no exception. However, if you take a look through the gallery, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that it would be nice if their model could close his mouth for the product shots, it’s ungentlemanly, Sir!

On my trip to London before Christmas I did make it to the
Concrete Hermit store, but unfortunately I didn’t make it in the door, as they’re closed on Sundays and I hadn’t checked the opening times, however there’s loads of
cool graffiti around their store and the market on Brick Lane on a Sunday, so my excursion to the East End of London wasn’t a total bust. I was quite excited to see some CH items in the shop at the Tate Modern though (we went there for lunch, on the top floor,
great food and a great view), including the poster version of this Anthony Burrill design
shown here in t-shirt form.
In the e-mail I got about this sale it said there was loads of tees at 40% off, but I can only see 2 in the store, perhaps a few more will be added to the sale between me writing this post and it going live (what? you thought I clicked ‘publish’ every three hours?). *Update: yep, I missed it, here’s the sale page… and I’ll just give myself a quick slap… and now all is right in the world again.
Concrete Hermit are one of my favourite UK-based brands and when I head down to London in a couple of weeks time with
Mrs. HYA I hope I get a chance to check out their store again. However, for those of you that can’t make it to their shop/gallery (and those that can but want to save money, I suppose) if you use the coupon code
HERMITCHRISTMAS at the checkout you will receive 10% off your order. I don’t have any official word on when the coupon will expire, but as it mentions Christmas I wouldn’t expect it to last much past the 25th.
